Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1985, making it 39 years old. While it appears well-maintained with fresh paint and functional systems like central AC/heating and in-unit laundry, the kitchen and bathrooms show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features older-style wood cabinets, speckled countertops, a dated tile backsplash, and black appliances (except for a possibly newer stainless dishwasher). The bathrooms have basic vanities and fiberglass tub/shower combos that are functional but not modern. The tile and carpet flooring throughout are also older styles. The property is move-in ready but would benefit from cosmetic updates to align with current trends and improve its overall appeal.
